Eigenmaps and minimal and bandlimited immersions of graphs into Euclidean spaces

We introduce concepts of minimal immersions and bandlimited (Paley-Wiener) immersions of combinatorial weighted graphs (finite or infinite) into Euclidean spaces. The notion of bandlimited immersions generalizes the known concept of eigenmaps of graphs. It is shown that our minimal immersions can be used to perform interpolation, smoothing and approximation of immersions of graphs into Euclidean spaces. It is proved that under certain conditions minimal immersions converge to bandlimited immersions. Explicit expressions of minimal immersions in terms of eigenmaps are given. The results can find applications for data dimension reduction, image processing, computer graphics, visualization and learning theory.     

Semi-parallel surfaces in Euclidean space

Semi-parallel immersions are defined as extrinsic analogue for semi-symmetric spaces and as a direct generalization of parallel immersions. Using results of Backes on Euclidean Jordan triple systems, the totally geodesic immersions are shown to be the only minimal semi-parallel immersions into a Euclidean space. Semi-parallel immersions of surfaces into E^m are studied and a classification of semi-parallel immersions with pointwise planar normal sections of surfaces in E^m is given.Research Assistant of the National Fund of Scientific Research     

Immersions with circular normal sections and normal sections of product immersions

We study immersions with normal sections that are circles in the ambient Euclidean space and formulate lemmas concerning normal sections of product immersions. As applications we determine all parallel immersions with planar normal sections and all immersions with planar normal sections and trivial normal connection.Aspirant N.F.W.O.     

Affine planar geodesic immersions with maximal codimension

This work gives a classification theorem for affine immersions with planar geodesics in the case where the codimension is maximal. Vrancken classified parallel affine immersions in this case and obtained, among others, generalized Veronese submanifolds. In this work it is shown that the immersions with planar geodesics are the same as the parallel ones in the considered case. A geometric interpretation of parallel immersions is also given： The affine immersions with pointwise planar normal sections （with respect to the equiaffine transversal bundle） are parallel. This result is verified for surfaces in R4 and for immersions with the maximal codimension.     

Codimension two Kähler submanifolds of space forms

In this article we study isometric immersions from Kähler manifolds whose (1, 1) part of the second fundamental form is parallel, theppmc isometric immersions. When the domain is a Riemann surface these immersions are precisely those with parallel mean curvature. P. J. Ryan has classified the Kähler manifolds that admit isometric immersions, as real hypersurfaces, in space forms. We classify the codimension twoppmc isometric immersions into space forms.     

On minimal and Chen immersions in space forms

By using the push-out map we obtain some results on minimal immersions and Chen immersions with non-flat normal bundle in space forms under some conditions. We then build up many examples of minimal and Chen immersions.     

Classification of immersions of graphs into a plane

In 2005, R. Nikkuni calculated the Wu invariant for immersions of graphs into a plane considered up to a regular homotopy, i.e., for homotopies that are immersions. He showed that two immersions are regularly homotopic if and only if their Wu invariants coincide. In this paper a simple combinatorial construction for this invariant is described, a theorem similar to Ryo Nikkuni’s theorem is proved, and the fact that all values of the constructed combinatorial invariant can be implemented by immersions is also proved.     

Orbits of SU(2)-representations and minimal isometric immersions

In contrast to all known examples, we show that in the case of minimal isometric immersions of into the smallest target dimension is almost never achieved by an -equivariant immersion. We also give new criteria for linear rigidity of a fixed minimal isometric immersion of into . The minimal isometric immersions arising from irreducible SU(2)-representations are linearly rigid within the moduli space of SU(2)-equivariant immersions. Hence the question arose whether they are still linearly rigid within the full moduli space. We show that this is false by using our new criteria to construct an explicit SU(2)-equivariant immersion which is not linearly rigid. Various authors [GT], [To3], [W1] have shown that minimal isometric immersions of higher isotropy order play an important role in the study of the moduli space of all minimal isometric immersions of into . Using a new necessary and sufficient condition for immersions of isotropy order , we derive a general existence theorem of such immersions. Received: 13 May 1999 / in final form: 13 July 1999     

New Construction for Spherical Minimal Immersions

We describe a general method of manufacturing new minimal immersions between round spheres out of old ones. The resulting spherical minimal immersions are given analytically in terms of the harmonic projection operator and have higher source dimensions. Applied to classical examples, this gives an abundance of new minimal immersions of even-dimensional spheres.     

An extension of Calabi's rigidity theorem to complex submanifolds of indefinite complex space forms

The rigidity for full holomorphic isometric immersions of an indefinite Kähler manifold into an indefinite complex space form is proved. All such immersions between indefinite complex projective (and hyperbolic) spaces are founded and examples of non-congruents holomorphic isometric immersions are exposed.     

The Fundamental Theorems for Affine Immersionsinto Hyperquadrics and its Applications

 We prove the fundamental theorems for affine immersions into hyperquadrics (including affine spaces) with arbitrary codimension, which are generalizations of those for isometric immersions into space forms. As applications, the fundamental theorems for equiaffine immersions into hyperquadrics with arbitrary codimension are obtained. (Received 10 February 2000)     

Immersions of graphs into projective plane

Immersions of graphs into the projective plane are studied. A classification of immersions up to a regular homotopy is obtained. A complete invariant of immersions up to a regular homotopy is constructed. The case of immersions of graphs into any compact surface differing from the projective plane was known previously.     

SLANT IMMERSIONS OF COMPLEX SPACE FORMS AND CHEN＇S INEQUALITY

A submanifold in a complex space form is called slant it it has constant Wirtinger angles. B, Y, Chen and Y. Tazawa proved that there do not exist minimal proper slant surfaces in CP^2 and CH^2. So it seems that the slant immersion has some interesting properties. The authors have great interest to consider slant immersions satisfying some additional conditions, such as unfull first normal bundles or Chen‘s equality holding. They prove that there do not exist n-dimensional Kaehlerian slant immersion sin CP^n and CH^n with unfull first normal bundles. Next, it is seen that every Kaehlerian slant submanifold satisfying an equality of Chen is minimal which is similar to that of Lagrangian immersions. But in contrast, it is shown that a large class of slant immersions do not exist thoroughly. Finally, they give an application of Chen‘s inequality to general slant immersions in a complex projective space, which generalizes a result of Chen.     

Spherical Minimal Immersions with Prescribed Codimension

We describe a general construction of manufacturing new spherical minimal immersions between round spheres out of old ones. The new immersions have higher domain dimension and degree and the construction has a precise control on the codimension. Applied to classified and recent examples, the construction gives an abundance of new spherical minimal immersions with prescribed codimensions.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000). 53C42     

On conformal biharmonic immersions

This paper studies conformal biharmonic immersions. We first study the transformations of Jacobi operator and the bitension field under conformal change of metrics. We then obtain an invariant equation for a conformal biharmonic immersion of a surface into Euclidean 3-space. As applications, we construct a two-parameter family of non-minimal conformal biharmonic immersions of cylinder into and some examples of conformal biharmonic immersions of four-dimensional Euclidean space into sphere and hyperbolic space, thus providing many simple examples of proper biharmonic maps with rich geometric meanings. These suggest that there are abundant proper biharmonic maps in the family of conformal immersions. We also explore the relationship between biharmonicity and holomorphicity of conformal immersions of surfaces.      

Isometric immersions of Riemannian Spaces in Euclidean Spaces

Questions of the theory of isometric immersions of Riemannian spaces in Euclidean spaces beginning with the very first results onthis topic and also results on immersions of pseudo-Riemannian spaces in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and applications of the theory of immersions in the general theory of relativity are considered.Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Algebra, Topologiya, Geometriya, Vol. 15, pp. 173–211, 1977.     

Higher-order nondegenerate immersions of manifolds

In this paper we show how the Smale-Hirsch theory of immersions can be adapted to get a simple proof of an integrability theorem of Gromov and Eliashberg concerning higher-order nondegenerate immersions.     

Universal constraints on the range of eigenmaps and spherical minimal immersions

The purpose of this paper is to give lower estimates on the range dimension of spherical minimal immersions in various settings. The estimates are obtained by showing that infinitesimal isometric deformations (with respect to a compact Lie group acting transitively on the domain) of spherical minimal immersions give rise to a contraction on the moduli space of the immersions and a suitable power of the contraction brings all boundary points into the interior of the moduli space.

     

Differential geometry of tensor product immersions

In this article we obtain the best possible estimates of the type number of tensor product immersions and investigate tensor product immersions with lowest possible type. Several classification theorems in this respect are then proved.     

Lorentzian Submanifolds in Lorentzian Space Form with the Same Constant Curvatures

We study nondegenerate isometric immersions of Lorentzian manifolds of constant sectional curvatures into Lorentzian space form of the same constant sectional curvatures which have flat normal bundles. We also give a method to produce such immersions using the Lorentzian Grassmannian systems.
